I just thought I'd say hi! I've been lurking on the forum for a little bit, to get the hang of things...and now here I am!
I am a huge lover of all things tropical, although, unfortunately, I live in zone 5, southern Wisconsin. But I have a couple of young basjoos just waiting to go outside....this will be my first try with anything like this. I've really never planted much of anything until last year when I got "the bug." And then it was all easy, zone appropriate things!
I've also grown quite fond of ensete, the red ones....and have been insanely researching those........reading everything I can get my eyes on....considering the idea....if I find a place to put them, and figure out my winter storage.
I'm also (off topic) crazy in love with cannas...but perhaps with bananas, that's enough to plunge into for one year...we'll see. Hubby might not appreciate my basement becoming consumed with over wintering tropicals! lol
Thanks for reading, I'm very excited for my basjoos to go outside! I've been getting them used to going out, by putting them out on nice sunny days, but we've seen the sun so very little this month, when we do, we're in a trance! We're still getting some nighttime lows in the 30's...so not ready to put the little guys out there just yet!
